UCL School of Management welcome Professor Gavin Kilduff, NYU Stern, to host a research seminar discussing “The Psychology of Rivalry: A relationally-dependent analysis of competition.”

Abstract:

My research investigates the origins, consequences, and underlying psychology of rivalry, a competitive relationship that serves to increase the psychological stakes of competition independent of any tangible stakes. In this talk, I will focus specifically on work that examines how rivalry affects performance, organizational identification and commitment, and customer engagement.
